Types of Asexual Reproduction

Cell Division

In unicellular organisms, cell division is a way to make identical copies of itself. Bacteria is an organism which uses this form of asexual reproduction. The bacterial cell copies its DNA and passes its genetic material onto the new bacterial cell.

Binary Fission

Budding

This is when unicellular organisms start to grow new cells off their old cells. When these cells are fully developed, they fall off and a new organism is produced. Yeast are an organism which often go through this process of reproduction.
